Obamarama

Man do these people do political statistics well. The scenario analysis is interesting too as are the somewhat-puzzling graphs.

Letterboxing?

Has anyone heard of this at all? This sounds kind of interesting. When I go walking around I like to explore a little, and day my day I'm kind of running out of areas near me that are new. This idea seems interesting. People leave a waterproof box with a rubberstamp and a paper pad inside somewhere in town and hide it. Then they put clues online like such. These are all the Oregon ones listed by date placed. Some were placed in 1999, so I'm sure those are gone. Anyway, it seems like a cool alternative to doing nothing.

Urbanteering

On July 20th there will be a scavenger hunt put on by some people starting in the Pearl.

It looks pretty cool. There will be teams and individual classes.

Like A Potato Could Beat That

However! It is the year of the potato. Why 2008? According to the website:

Food prices are soaring worldwide, driven by fierce competition for reduced international supplies of wheat, maize and rice, and other agricultural commodities. As concern grows over the risk of food shortages and instability in dozens of low-income countries, global attention is turning to an age-old crop that could help ease the strain of food price inflation.

Damn, this website got me all excited about potatoes.


That headset thing looks crazy. LAN parties are going to just look like a bunch of Cylon hybrids staring at monitors soon enough. Luke, you ballsy enough to get one?

Neuro-input device for the PC!

Goddamnit, such a cool concept. I imagine the second generation of this will be pretty sweet.
